#STEMed happens at home too in PCS! Gr 4 & 5 Ts prepped for #STEMChallenges by doing them during our virtual PD last week. ⚙🧱🏡
Kings Highway 4th graders are learning about the night sky using Star Wheels! 🌠💫 #STEMed
These kinders at Ozona ES explored 3D shapes as they constructed a home for their Peep using toothpicks and jellybeans. We love the seasonal tie-in with this #STEMchallenge!

So proud of the work these amazing educators are doing! #STEMPinellas
This month, we’re celebrating not one, but two Outstanding Educators of the Month. See why Mary Wightmand and Janet Harmeson find success teaching code at @PCS_ElemSTEM using #Ozobot bit.ly/37hJQyA
Ms. Grasley’s 1st graders generated planning questions & strategies together so ALL learners could have a place to start when they break off to build. #STEMed #STEMchallenge

What “old school” resources lurk in your school closets? And how can you repurpose them today?
Madeira Beach 4th graders used recycled materials to design the slowest possible marble run! This #STEMchallenge incorporates time, angles, & motion concepts in a hands-on design competition.

This hands-on investigation blends design thinking with the scientific method as 3rd graders design/test a way to cool sea turtle nests!
Way to go Ms. Morris' class at Skyview ES!
#STEMPinellas @my_pcs
It’s getting windy in here! Westgate ES students built their prototypes for the Windmills at Work #STEM challenge & tested how long it took for it to raise their paper cup.
